Kara was on her school's soccer team, and a game was scheduled for Saturday afternoon in Portsmouth. On Friday evening, as Kara was pulling her clean uniform out of the laundry basket and putting it in her soccer bag, the phone rang and she answered it.
It was her grandmother calling to say she had an extra ticket to a play on Saturday evening. Kara's grandmother offered Kara the ticket. Grandma read a review of the play to Kara, and Kara was definitely interested. Kara paused to think through the next day's schedule. Grandma must have thought that Kara was just being polite because she added, "If you're busy or you'd rather do something else, don't worry, Kara. My neighbor Louise would love to go. I just called you first because you and I always have such fun together."
Kara did a quick run-through of her Saturday schedule. The game started at 3:00, and it would last about 80 minutes. Portsmouth was about an hour away, and Kara would have to shower and grab some food when she got home. That meant she would be ready for Grandma to pick her up around 6:30. The theater was downtown, nearly an hour away from her house.
"What time does the play start?" she asked her grandmother. Grandma told her 7:30. Kara groaned in frustration. If anything went wrong—like bad traffic on the way home from the game or on the way to the theater—they would be late, and Grandma was the kind of person who always liked to be right on time. On the other hand, the play sounded really interesting!
